That's why we're supporting our friends at Fight for the Future...

When the New York Times released its story that some of the Syrian government's websites were hosted outside of Syria, I wasn't surprised to see SoftLayer as one of the hosts. They are the company that hosted StopGeorgia.ru, the Russian forum which coordinated many of the cyber attacks...
